Loading Dock/Delivery Area <br />The loading dock area located on the north end of the current corporate building will be reconfigured to <br />provide one additional semi-truck loading dock, and a relocated trash compactor and recycling container <br />area. Current vehicular circulation in the delivery area will be maintained to support the expanded <br />loading dock functions. <br /> <br />Compliance with Current City of Arden Hills Zoning Code <br />The proposed consolidation project is consistent with the adopted City of Arden Hills Comprehensive <br />Plan and previously approved PUD - Case No. 79-4 for the project site. The current zoning for the <br />existing and surrounding sites is I-1 Limited Industrial District. All of the defined uses in the proposed <br />project (credit union, childcare facility (over 10), medical clinic, and corporate workout facilities) are <br />permitted uses within the district. Based on the surrounding zoning, the proposed consolidation project <br />is visually compatible with adjacent land uses and does not impact the surrounding sites in a negative <br />manner. <br />The proposed Land O’Lakes Corporate Headquarters Consolidation project will exceed the current City <br />of Arden Hills zoning requirements in numerous ways. Some of the specific zoning code requirements <br />that will be exceeded include the following: <br />1. Currently within the I-1 Limited Industrial District there are no requirements for indoor/outdoor <br />bicycle storage. We are currently proposing 32 outdoor bicycle parking spots and have a design <br />option for an additional 20 indoor bicycle parking spots. <br />2. Our proposed landscape for Phase 1 and 2 improvements is approximately 16.79% of the total <br />site which exceeds the City requirement of 10%. Total Sq. Ft. of plantings is 212,999 sf. and the <br />total landscaped area is 1,238,490 sf. <br /> <br />3. The project will meet or exceed Building and Landscape Lot Area coverage. <br /> <br /> Permitted Existing Phase 1 Proposed <br />Phase 2 <br />Structure Coverage 30% Max. <br />(619,073 sf) <br />5.62% <br />(116,109 sf) <br />--** 8.07% <br />(166,553 sf) <br />Landscaping Coverage 35% Min. <br />(722,252 sf) <br />71.55% <br />(1,476,507 <br />sf) <br />64.36% <br />(1,328,119 sf) <br />57.25% <br />(1,238,490 sf) <br />Total Impervious <br />Coverage* <br />65% Max. <br />(1,341,325 <br />sf) <br />31.39% <br />(647,833 sf) <br />35.64% <br />(735,497 sf) <br />42.75% <br />(882,142 sf) <br />*Total impervious coverage includes the building coverage.
